Re: Troubleshooting Hard hot Start problem narrowed. 865ktq

Hi Gabel:

I have the same car with the same problem!  I got new(actually used)
injectors and will be replacing those soon.  I'm thinking that the
injectors are leaking and with a cold start there is an extra shot
of fuel to get her on her way.  When hot, no extra shot.  Hot immediate
restart doesn't give enough time for injectors to leak out.  Delayed
restart when hot does.  That's my theory anyway.  I'll let you know
what I find.  Let me know if you resolve before hearing from me.

It's great to commiserate(sp?).
